Stefano was my coach during an exhilarating yet challenging period in my career. While I was experiencing rapid professional growth, I was eager to sustain the momentum but hadn’t fully recognized how aspects of my leadership style—distinct from my expertise—were limiting my potential. I didn’t fully recognize the impact my fast-paced approach was having on my team, or that, in some cases, I was becoming a bottleneck without realizing it. Stefano’s approach, which he describes as ‘gently holding my feet to the fire,’ encouraged me to step back and gain a broader, almost bird’s-eye perspective on the “turbulence” that was holding me back. His guidance was instrumental in helping me level up as a leader, and I deeply appreciated both his thoughtful coaching style and the transformative experience that he facilitated.
